Let's face it, if it ain't #LiveInBlack&White...and it's actually black or white...it just might be boring.

Rodney Green, a (Southwest) Philadelphia native, is a former A-10 (LaSalle Explorers) guard with nice arsenal of offensive tools. Showing a steady improvement in many areas during his college career, he developed into a strong defender and ball hawk as well as an efficient scorer. Logging time at the point guard position effectively in college, Green is a natural scorer...and will light you and anybody else up for 50...any.given.night.
With a polished release and the ability to create shots with fakes and dribble penetration, Green has concrete quickness and solid athletic ability to finish at the rim. His experience has given him excellent patience in the half court set, over time he has become an excellent glass cleaner as a guard, maintaining a 5 rebound per game average throughout his college career.
In the Summer of 2010, RG signed a contract with the Israeli Premier League team, Galil Gilboa.
Israel's league is one of the better in Europe, and Galil Gilboa won last season's (2009-2010) championship.
Are we really wondering why he received this most prestigious award earlier today?
Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls is the winner of the Maurice Podoloff Trophy as the 2010-2011 Kia NBA Most Valuable Player Award, the league announced today. DRose, who doesn't turn 23 until Oct. 4 this year (who else wants to kill themselves? Just me? Cool.), becomes the league's youngest MVP, a distinction previously held by Wes Unseld, who earned the honor in 1968-69 as a 23-year-old.
Rose totaled 1,182 points including 113 first-place votes, from a panel of 120 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada as well as an NBA MVP fan vote. For the second consecutive season, the NBA and Kia Motors America gave fans the opportunity to submit their votes by ranking their top five choices through a dedicated Web page on NBA.com. The fan vote counted as one vote and was compiled with the 120 media votes to determine the winner. Players were awarded 10 points for each first-place vote, seven points for each second-place vote, five for third, three for fourth and one for each fifth-place vote received.
Here's how that panned out:
